Yes, "hepatic liver cancer" and "hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of the liver" are referring to the same condition. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer, and it specifically refers to cancer that begins in the hepatocytes, which are the main type of liver cells. "Hepatic" simply means "related to the liver," so "hepatic liver cancer" is another way to describe hepatocellular carcinoma or liver cancer that originates in the liver cells.
The primary organ in the hepatic system is the liver. In general, "hepa" means "liver" in science; for example, hepatitis = disease of the liver, hepatocellular carcinoma = liver cancer.
Liver cancer, also known as hepatic cancer, is a type of malignant tumor that originates in the liver. It is a form of primary cancer, meaning it starts in the liver cells rather than spreading to the liver from other parts of the body. The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which develops in the hepatocytes, the main type of liver cell. Liver cancer can also be classified as: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC): This is the most common type and typically occurs in individuals with chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis. Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: This cancer begins in the bile ducts within the liver. Hepatoblastoma: This rare type of liver cancer primarily affects children. The risk factors for liver cancer include chronic infections with hepatitis B or C viruses, cirrhosis (often due to alcohol abuse or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), exposure to aflatoxins (toxins produced by certain molds), and some genetic conditions.
There is no such thing as "hepacocllulan carcinoma", but hepatocellular carcinoma is a cancer of the liver associated with viral hepatitis, poisonous mushroom ingestion, and fungal toxins.
It is a good question! Liver is a common site for the secondary invasion of almost all type of cancers. But liver cells are not immune from getting converted into cancer cells. When this happens, it is called as primary liver carcinoma.
Hepatic refers to the liver.

The root word of hepatoma is hepa which means liver. Hepatoma or Hepatocellular Carcinoma is the cancer of the liver.
The word that pertains to the liver is hepatic.

You may. If the cancer originated in the liver and the carcinoma cells are being found in the bloodstream, then the cancer from the liver has already metastasized and is moving around through the entire system. These metastasized cancer cells may 'stick' in other sites.
James Earl Ray died of Hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of liver cancer, on April 23, 1998.
